History and Background of the .VOYAGE Domain

The .VOYAGE domain extension was delegated to the internet's root system on March 18, 2015 as part of ICANN's new generic top-level domain program. Delegation refers to the point when a domain extension is officially added to the global domain name system and becomes technically active.

After delegation, the extension launched through standard registration phases, including a sunrise period (a phase that allows trademark holders to register names first) before becoming generally available. It has since been used for travel experiences, journeys, and exploration-focused projects.

Why you might not choose .VOYAGE

Before choosing a .VOYAGE domain, it helps to think about clarity and audience familiarity.

  • Recognition: Some users may not immediately associate the term with booking services.
  • Language: The word may feel less direct than terms like travel or tours.
  • Expectations: Visitors may expect editorial or experience-based content.

Because of these factors, Website.com currently focuses on proven, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .VOYAGE domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
